Did it yesterday afternoon, they emailed back within the hour saying they have some on order and will be delivered by air freight approximately a month (we will see) but in the meantime I have an infill panel so they said although not ideal to keep it and they will send a new one as soon as they arrive, cannot fault their speedy reply better than I have ever had with many other fishing brands.

That is outstanding customer service on Wychwoods part as apparently its the suppliers fault for fitting incorrect zips and as you say as soon as new fronts are made they will be sent out

Cannot Fault them Gerry, I own quite a few Wychwood items now and have to say apart from this little hiccup have always been happy with their quality and price point for their products.

Any feedback on these, as they have been available for a few weeks now?
Any teething faults etc?
Cheers 👍

on the 2 ribs at the front supports the little peak bit and it can only go round one way though bit hard to get on the first time
it took me a while to figure out lol
lots of coverage isnt there ? I was initially worried about it being low but tried it in the garden and it seems fine roll on Tomorrow night my first session a 48 hour up on the Mighty River Trent

Loved it. I had it on its lowest pegging points and could comfortably sit on my bed, probably could have got my bed buddy chair in there as well, would have easily fitted on the higher pegging points.

And ill be ****ed if I can work out where that bloody bar goes

Its a doorway support bar
If you sit on your bed the door way has 3 ribs the bar hooks over the left and right doorway ribs the centre doorway has a clip that clips over the centre of the doorway support bar if you still don't get iter me know and will take some pictures and post when I get home mate
But I'm loving this shelter

Just did a 48 hour on the sloping bank of the River Trent had 2 hours of torrential rain so good test it passed with flying colours
sooo much more room than the 50" compact it replaced the flatter back means the bed can go right back
it does not look it but its on a bit of a sloping bank hence the front compact bedchair legs extended the groundsheet has a really clever toggle system so much better than the velcro AND the lovely wide doorway on the zip on front is perfect


LOVING THIS WIDE DOORWAY JUST PERFECT

FOR BARRY AND FOR ANYONE ELSE THAT WANTS TO KNOW THE IS THE FRONT DOORWAY SUPPRT BAR CORNER FIXING SIMPLY CLIPS OVER THE FRONT RIBS

Totally agree with your review, used mine for the first time few weekends ago and can't fault it. Plenty of room, not too low and keep me nice and dry.

Haven't tried the fronts yet but they look good too.
